Zoltán Pál Dienes

Zoltán Pál Dienes

Zoltán Pál Dienes (anglicized as 'Zoltan Paul Dienes') (1916 - ) is a Hungarian mathematician whose ideas on the education (especially of small children) have been popular in some countries.[1] He is a world-famous theorist and tireless practitioner of the "new mathematics" - an approach to mathematics learning that uses games, songs and dance to make it more appealing to children.

Dienes' life and ideas are described in his autobiography, Memoirs of a Maverick Mathematician (ISBN 1844261921), and his book of mathematical games, I Will Tell You Algebra Stories You've Never Heard Before (ISBN 1844261913). He has also published a book of poetry, Calls from the Past (ISBN 1844261905). His latter life contributions have been chronicled by Bharath Sriraman in The Mathematics Enthusiast
